You should be teaching in business schools! Well done. Sending this to my kids...none of whom are into photography.

The brush in this tutorial is not compatible with 25.9.1 verson of PS (Windows 11). I'd hesitate to shell out big bucks when they could be unusable.

Just a minor suggestion. The two bright light sources in the back, (window and door), are, to my view, quite distracting. I find that bright areas like this distract the viewer from the subject. The door can be easily cropped out and the window shade could be closed; or, you could alter your angle of view to subject to the left, thereby eliminating both of these distractions.

Wouldn't be the best option, instead of using a lightbox, using a color corrected flash unit with a white acrylic in fornt of it, as a light souurce and just shoot it with flash instead of continuous?

i don't understand , how can i convert photos to 32 bit ?

In the beach motel shot you mention that you “strobe” the bike. What do you mean by that? Do you mean exposure bracket? Thanks for the info :)

Great video. One question. There are two options in 16 bit when you import the pictures in camera raw - sRGB 16bit and Adobe RGB 1998 16 bit. I have been using sRGB 16 bit. Do I lose out on these shades of grey if I don't use Adobe RGB?

Just watched tutorial. Will these work using Camera Raw within photoshop.

Good video! I’ve been scanning this way for a while, but wanted to see if you had found a good solution for newton rings. You mentioned that you would discuss it later in the video, but didn’t get back to it. Also wanted to point out, when you invert the tone curve and adjust the sliders, the Whites slider now adjusts blacks, Blacks slider adjusts whites, Highlights adjusts shadows, and Shadows adjusts highlights (and as you noted, the sliders need to move the opposite way to make the expected adjustment).

Watching in 2024 and I have in my bag the 50mm 1.2,85 1.2 and 200mm f2. Meanwhile your Westcott Beautydish,the gen I is my most love beautydiah / softbox ever,thank you.

Great video! Learned something new today.

When will we see the Joel Grimes film masterclass?

Can't wait to try this with the 400mb multi shoot 16 bit file of a GFX

I had never thought about using HDR since the range of film is well within the range of current DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. I did not know that the final DNG file was greater than 14 bit. One thing that I try to do is push the exposure fairly high ('over expose') so that the dark (silver rich) areas on negatives will have as much data (bits) as possible. Does that make sense?

Negative Supply has great products, but the cost can add up pretty quickly if you have used a variety film formats. For most of us there are perfectly fine alternatives. . . . For someone with an enlarger, the negative carriers will often work well on top of a light source for digital 'scanning'. 4x5 enlargers are particularly good because of the size of the carriers. Enlargers themselves can sometimes be converted to copy stands with a little ingenuity. The light sources can be used, as well, if they can be set to point upward from the baseboard. (Cold light and LED heads are most likely to 'stand on their heads'.) For day to day 35mm 'scanning' the Nikon ES-2 system works well with their FF macro lenses. There are numerous Chinese versions that are probably okay too, and in the height of the films days the big names often had slide/negative duplicator attachments for their macro bellows. And a number of companies that made camera accessories produced 'slide duplicators' with specialized optics. And there was the high end Bowens Illumitran that used a built in flash.

I learned something awesome today! TY 😎

Very useful. I used to use a Coolscan, but like flatbed scanners, it was so slow compared to a camera with macro lenses.

This is savage content Joel Thanks. 20 Years ago I bought a Fujigilm 6250 drum scanner to get decent scans of 5x4 film. Been away from photography 10 years now but missed it so during COVID I spontaneously bought a GFX and I haven't looked back. But here's the thing my teenage daughter randomly fell in love with the look of film having brought some disposable film cameras to parties and gigs and now she's moved onto the Kodak Ektar. As you can imagine I'm delighted with her interest and with a birthday coming up I'm looking at other film cameras but I know that increasingly getting her work into a digital workflow will be problematic as I like you despise flatbed scanners. Even the best of them from Scitex were only ok and the only half decent one was the FujiFilm C-550 Lanovia Scanner. I've seen people shoot negs with high res sensors but that set up you have put together is sweet. I've upgraded to the GFX 100 II now which should knock it out of the park but the light panel is a great heads up and the key to it all. Good call from your son starting the ball rolling - It's great when the share your passion and thanks again for super content. Navajo images are outstanding at that scale!

Any chance we might be able to see the results from this time capsule?!

Please share image download link.

After all these years that I´ve been following your shoots, this is still my absolute favorite. The landscape, the lights and the overall composition is just magic!

Hello Joel, would you please state exactly what you mean by "Fine" Art? So far you have suggested it is just about anything. Accordingly it could even be a favourite image taken on a mobile phone using auto - and not really art at all.

Beautiful. Hope to be at this Overlook very soon. Not so much to take pictures - yes we will -- but to feast in God's creation. God Bless.

It should be automatic is a not a true explanation. I have a canon r6 with Godox AD 200 and Canon 6D with Godox V1. A big in investment. The r6 gives more more trouble than the 6D:::Syncing the camera and strobe is a nightmare and the r6 camera continues bounce off the HSS capability to not allow me to shoot at 1/1000 f/1.4 - stoping it at 1/200…this absolutely a problem in the middle of portrait session. There is no one that has clearly explained HSS process of the camera: speedlight function, second curtain…it’s a pain.

Jane Bown was a master of taking portraits with natural light.

I can do that. Pay me well though

Gosh!

Thanks Joel. Great tutorial. Can't wait to read your ebook. 😊

"Don't ever let your colorblindness keep you from chasing your dream." <- That teacher of yours was a treasure and I hope you stayed in touch. I was really big into 3D art on high school. I loved movies with digital ships and characters. I wanted to be an VFX artist. Then they confirmed my colorblindness in the driving school test. It crushed my world. I did not have a teacher like that. I went for other hobbies, mostly music (but you can get only so far when starting so late). Now at 33 I went back to the 3D stuff, just accepting I won't make a penny out of that hobby. Also I bought a camera (and I'm having awful struggle with white balance, lol), but you know. It is what it is. And the older I get, the more I value any passion as a concept. We lose so mch of it as life goes by. So be thankful for that amazing teacher. ❤

Great Video

One BIG thing when using the tri-pod. Make sure it's level at the base not just the head! Turning a level head on an unlevel base will create issues.

Thanks for the tutorial and for including the sample image and brush which is so helpful.

I never realy understoot it, but now i do, thanks so much!!!

How to turn your snapshots in to post apocalyptic hellscapes.

Just stumbled across ur channel and i must say u just earned urself a new subscriber. Awesome job and i love ur approach to retouching/restructuring pics. Bravo.😊

Awesomely helpful - I bought the brush pack some time ago but struggled to apply them without these instructions. Also helpful is to see the brush preview in the brush panel and not just numbers with a nondescript brush stroke. You might mention that next time as I find it very helpful with so many options to chose from. Thanks Joel!

Thanks for the informative video! Part of this process is to have a computer and monitor that supports 10 bit per channel colour output, and wide colour gamet. Not all monitors are created equal. You need a graphics card that supports 10 bit output over display port. And a monitor that can output nearly 100% or at least 97% Adobe RGB - Eizo, Dell, NEC and Ben Q all have options. No monitor, from the last time I researched can output ProPhoto RGB colour space. A classic example of this as you said is “ pushing” greys or skies too much and producing banding (loosing file information). This can be clearly seen on this type of system. I too agree, forgetting to reset Photoshop working colour space after an update has caught me a few times also.

Thank you for that last comment. It doesn't matter what you use. Be an artist. :) this was very informational.

Great video Joel! Love the use of light effects you created here

I would like to know which monitor you use. I calibrate mine, but still find it difficult to match what prints.

I love your videos and workflow. Thanks so much. I have bought your brushes and on the whole find them very useful. Would there be any way you could create a video on how you use your dog brushes as I’m having few challenges making them look authentic. Cheers.

The Bloom link with the discount code that's provided in the description (the one ending in .../p50/joelgrimes/) gives a 404 NOT FOUND error. It's January 2024 - Does Joel still use this now?

Wow, you really go full Monty.

Awesome. I was really looking for something like this. Tutorial using your brushes. I have them all. But could not make use of them for not knowing the basic workflow. This helped a lot. Thanks.

Joel, this vid started really well but turned rather dry after Paul showed his software.

HAHAHAHHAHAH!!!! Schrute Farm Event. SO GOOD!

This is great! Thanks for sharing. Do you have any videos on environmental portraits? I would love to see how you would approach those style of shoots with lighting etc

Amazing photography. Thank you.

When I'm rejected I keep moving forward, but I also think about other people I know who are interested in photography but will never make it to the point I'm at right now. So I'm grateful for the rejection, knowing I will still keep trying 😊

I saw the ads for this guy’s tutorial videos. I thought he must be good. I had no idea he was such a poor presenter and his videos would lack editing. He stumbles over simple terms and words. It’s like he’s trying to remember what he was just shown, and doesn’t really know the technique at all. What was that notification that pops up too! Audio quality is very poor too; is that aircon hissing in the background? Quite a revelation. Do yourselves a favor and search for frequency separation that uses the Median filter, and has a solarized layer to aid visualizing where to edit.
